Abstract
Abstract A powdered coal burner used for directly heating an object to be heated, particularly iron scrap, in a heating vessel. The burner is composed of an oxygen nozzle, a powdered coal nozzle, an air nozzle, disposed concentrically from the center, and a cone which is provided at the end of the opening part of the oxygen nozzle in such a way as to disperse oxygen in a radial direction and burn powdered coal. The burner burns with shortened length of flame, and temperature of the flame is not excessively high.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A powered coal burner comprising an oxygen nozzle, a powered coal nozzle and air nozzle which are disposed concentrically from the center to the outside and have an open end, said oxygen nozzle being enlarged at its open end, and a cone at said enlarged open end of said oxygen nozzle for disposing oxygen in a radial direction for burning the powered coal, said cone is movable forward and backward for controlling the dispersion angle of oxygen, said open end of said oxygen nozzle being enlarged in a radial direction and the inside of said powered coal nozzle at its open end being beveled radially outward so as to disperse the powdered coal in a radial direction into said radially directed oxygen, said air nozzle includes a double pipe for passing cooling water therein, the outside of said air nozzle is refractory coated, and vanes for producing swirl are provided in said air nozzle adjacent its open end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
